I think you can see some positive signs in the way that IB wants the team to play, which we see in flashes. A similar thing happened under Ardley, where we had the odd half an hour where we looked great but could never sustain it for a whole game, let alone a run of them.
It’s increasingly clear that this group of players is inconsistent, mentally weak, loses focus way too easily and gets bullied. This isn’t something that a change of manager was ever going to solve in hindsight, at least not quickly.
